People who searched a single word on Google this week found something even stranger than the dictionary definition. On May 22, users noticed that typing the word “ignore” into Google search triggered a strange human-like AI response instead of the normal search results page.Typically, searching for a word like this will show its meaning, pronunciation, and a bunch of blue links below. But this time, Google responded as if the user was talking directly to a chatbot.The message shown to many users read: “Understood. Let me know whenever you have any new hints or questions.” And naturally, the Internet lost it.Screenshots of the bizarre search result quickly spread across social media, and people rushed to test the glitch themselves. The strange reaction also reignited criticism around Google’s increasing reliance on AI inside search, especially as the company continues to push AI-generated summaries higher up the page while traditional search links slowly move to the bottom.What made the situation even more interesting was that the word “disregard” itself was confusing the AI ​​into thinking someone was dismissing a previous instruction – almost as if the user were chatting with a virtual assistant instead of using a search engine.Even Merriam-Webster got involved in the online chaos. The dictionary giant posted the real meaning of “disregard” on Its post defined the term simply as: “Pay no mind to it,” subtly poking fun at the tech company’s awkward AI moment.The glitch soon became meme material. One user joked, “AI has literally ignored the meaning of ignore.” Another wrote sarcastically that by removing the word’s actual definition, Google “has actually become respectable.”But of course things got even stranger. Some users claimed that the AI ​​has started acting abnormally for other words as well. According to screenshots shared online, searching for words like “forget” triggered responses that sounded more like emotional support chats than dictionary searches.Instead of showing the meaning of “forget,” Google’s AI reportedly replied something along the lines of offering “fresh start” and asking how it could help. Another screenshot showed the word “disappointed” generating a strangely comforting response that sounded more like a therapy chatbot than a search engine.One frustrated user questioned why Google was “intent on destroying its own brand”, arguing that AI responses to something as simple as looking up a word seemed random, unnecessary and confusing.Google itself did not publicly explain the glitch. However, when several users double-checked later, the issue appeared to be fixed. Search results for “ignore” were genericized, showing regular word definitions instead of a chatbot-style response.It appears that the AI ​​Overview feature has also been temporarily disabled for those searches. Still, the incident became another viral example of how messy the transition toward AI-powered search can sometimes be. What was supposed to be a quick dictionary search accidentally turned into one of the internet’s funniest tech moments of the week.

US President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump was reportedly targeted for assassination by a trained member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in a revenge plot linked to the 2020 killing of top Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani, according to a New York Post report.According to reports, recently captured suspect Mohammed Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, 32, had allegedly ‘pledged’ to kill Ivanka Trump and was even found with blueprints of her Florida residence.The Iraqi national was reportedly seeking revenge for the US drone strike in Baghdad that killed Soleimani, the powerful commander of Iran’s elite Quds Force during Donald Trump’s presidency six years ago.“After Qasim was killed, he [Al-Saadi] People were told ‘We need to kill Ivanka to burn down Trump’s house, like they burned down our house,'” Antifad Qanbar, a former deputy military attaché at the Iraqi Embassy in Washington, told the New York Post.The New York Post further reported that Al-Saadi had shared a map image on X that showed the area of ​​Florida where Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner have a $24 million home.Along with the image, he posted a scary message in Arabic allegedly threatening Americans.The translated message said, “I tell the Americans to look at this picture and know that neither your palaces nor the secret service will protect you. We are currently in the monitoring and analysis phase. I told you, our revenge is a matter of time.”Al-Saadi was arrested in Türkiye on May 15 and later extradited to the United States. The Justice Department has charged him in connection with 18 attacks and attempted attacks across Europe and the United States.US authorities allege he was involved in a series of attacks targeting American and Jewish sites, including the March bombing of the Bank of New York Mellon building in Amsterdam, the stabbing of two Jewish victims in London in April and a shooting near the US Consulate building in Toronto.Federal investigators also accused him of planning or coordinating attacks against Jewish institutions, including a synagogue bombing in Liège, Belgium, and an arson attack on a temple in Rotterdam.According to the report, al-Saadi is believed to have ties to both Kata’ib Hezbollah and Iran’s IRGC.Elizabeth Tsurkov, a senior fellow at the Washington, DC-based New Lines Institute who was kidnapped in Baghdad in 2023 and later released, told the New York Post that al-Saadi maintained close ties to Iranian military networks.They alleged that al-Saadi was raised by his Iraqi mother in Baghdad before being sent to Tehran for training with the IRGC.

Investigators said the suspect maintained an active presence on social media despite his alleged involvement in extremist activities.Court documents include photos allegedly posted by al-Saadi, showing him reviewing military facilities, maps and operational equipment with Soleimani.In a social media post made months after Soleimani’s assassination, al-Saadi reportedly wrote: “I will quit social media and turn off all my phones until the American enemy is defeated…victory or martyrdom.”Ivanka Trump converted to Orthodox Judaism before marrying Jared Kushner in 2009. Al-Saadi is currently being held in solitary confinement at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

SpaceX on Friday successfully completed the 12th test flight of its massive Starship rocket system, with the spacecraft making a controlled landing in the Indian Ocean after a high-risk mission that included several technical glitches during the flight.The launch occurred shortly after 5.30 pm local time (2230 GMT), as SpaceX tested the latest third-generation version of Starship, the world’s largest and most powerful rocket system.Despite problems during the mission, SpaceX employees celebrated the completion of the flight during a company livestream. Visuals immediately after the splashdown showed the spacecraft surrounded by fire and heavy smoke as it descended into the Indian Ocean.“Splashdown Confirmed! Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team on the twelfth flight test of Starship!”. The company posted on Twitter after the spacecraft touched down safely.The company did not plan to recover the Super Heavy booster or upper stage spacecraft during this mission. According to SpaceX, the final landing in the Indian Ocean was fiery but controlled.During flight, the upper stage Starship successfully performed a complex maneuver in space, flying straight and restarting its engines for controlled re-entry, even though one of the engines malfunctioned during the mission.The spacecraft also deployed 22 mock satellites as part of the test. Two simulated satellites attempted to capture images of Starship’s heat shield to help engineers analyze the spacecraft’s performance during re-entry.However, the mission was not entirely smooth.SpaceX officials said the spacecraft could not achieve its intended orbit after one of its engines failed during the initial burn phase.“I wouldn’t call it a nominal orbital insertion,” SpaceX spokesman Dan Huot said during the livestream. However, he said the trajectory would remain ‘within the limits’ of earlier calculations.The Super Heavy Booster also faced problems after separation from the upper stage. According to Huot, the booster failed to complete its planned ‘boost-back burn’ and went out of control and fell into the Gulf of Mexico.Although SpaceX did not intend to recover the booster, the company hoped for a more accurate return.Friday’s test flight came a day after the first launch attempt was aborted due to a technical problem involving a hydraulic pin attached to the launch tower arm.SpaceX chief Elon Musk later said on Twitter that the problem had been fixed overnight.The latest Starship design is larger than previous versions and is more than 407 feet (124 m) long when fully stacked.The mission also comes at a critical time for SpaceX as the company faces increased attention following reports that it is preparing for a potentially record-breaking initial public offering later this year.Starship is at the center of NASA’s Artemis program, under which SpaceX is contracted to develop a modified version of the spacecraft capable of landing astronauts on the Moon.NASA aims to return humans to the lunar surface before the end of 2028, while China is also racing toward a manned moon mission targeted around 2030.NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman attended the launch and appeared during the pre-launch event.“We’re looking forward to seeing this fly by, because hopefully at some point in the near future we’re going to be in Earth orbit,” Isaacman said.SpaceX and Jeff Bezos-owned Blue Origin are both competing to develop lunar landing systems for NASA’s future Moon missions.However, industry experts have repeatedly expressed doubts about whether the ambitious timelines for lunar missions can be achieved, given the complex technical challenges.

New Delhi: Large parts of the country remained in the grip of scorching heat on Friday, with temperatures touching 48 degrees Celsius in many areas, prompting authorities to issue health advisories. He warned that prolonged exposure to extreme heat has increased concerns across the country. India Meteorological Department (imd) has warned that heat wave to severe heat wave conditions are likely to continue over parts of northwest, central, eastern and peninsular India till May 28.Rising daytime temperatures and unusually warm nights have significantly increased heat stress levels, especially in densely populated urban centers and areas dependent on outside labour. Meteorologists have warned that the lack of cool nights at night is worsening the effects of the ongoing heat wave and increasing health risks for vulnerable groups.

IMD’s advice: Heat wave alert till May 28

According to IMD, heat wave conditions are expected to persist over large parts of northwest, central and eastern India for the next six to seven days. Severe heat conditions are likely to persist over eastern Uttar Pradesh and eastern Madhya Pradesh between May 22 and May 28.The weather department has also predicted heatwave conditions in Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi during the same period, with a possibility of severe heatwave between May 24 and May 27. Extreme heat is likely to continue over Rajasthan, with western Rajasthan likely to face severe heatwave conditions between May 24 and May 28.Many other areas including Vidarbha, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha, Telangana, coastal Andhra Pradesh and parts of the Himalayan states are also expected to see heat wave conditions on different days during the week.IMD warned of “hot night” conditions in parts of Uttar Pradesh, Vidarbha, Odisha and Telangana. Conditions where temperatures remain abnormally high even after sunset are considered particularly dangerous because they prevent the body from recovering from the heat of the day.

Delhi-NCR: Scorching days, some relief ahead

Delhi is in the grip of extreme heat and temperatures in most parts of the national capital remain well above normal. Safdarjung, the city’s primary weather station, recorded a maximum temperature of 43.3 degrees Celsius, while the temperature at the Ridge Observatory reached 44.4 degrees Celsius, the highest in the capital.The IMD has issued a heatwave alert for Delhi till May 28, warning that the temperature may rise further and reach 45 degrees Celsius in the coming days. Although the change in temporary wind patterns brought some relief in some areas, weather experts said the hot desert winds are likely to intensify again.Light rain or thundershowers may occur in isolated parts, but officials said this is not likely to bring any significant drop in the day temperature.

Uttar Pradesh: Banda was hottest in India with 47.6°C.

Uttar Pradesh has emerged as one of the most affected states amid the scorching heat. The highest temperature in the country was recorded at 47.6 degrees Celsius in Banda, while it was 46.6 degrees Celsius in Prayagraj and 45.6 degrees Celsius in Varanasi.IMD has issued a red alert for 10 districts of the state, warning of severe to very severe heat. Authorities in Banda took unusual measures to reduce people’s exposure to the scorching heat, including closing traffic signals during afternoon peak hours to reduce waiting times for commuters under direct sunlight.

Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana: Extreme heat increases

North-west India is in the grip of extreme heat as hot and dry winds blow across Rajasthan, Punjab and Haryana. The temperature in Haryana’s Rohtak was recorded at 45.3 degrees Celsius, while in some parts of Faridabad the temperature crossed 45 degrees.Temperatures in Gurgaon were recorded above 42 degrees Celsius, prompting authorities to issue an orange alert from May 24 to May 27. Dry conditions and strong hot winds are expected to continue, with only light rain possible, weather officials said.

Madhya Pradesh and Central India: Continued critical situation

Central India, especially Madhya Pradesh, has been experiencing severe heat for a long time. According to IMD, East Madhya Pradesh will face severe heat wave during the forecast period.High night temperatures are complicating the situation, increasing heat stress and limiting respite from extreme daytime temperatures. Health experts warn that prolonged exposure to such conditions can lead to dehydration, heat exhaustion and heatstroke.

Eastern India: Increasing heat and humidity

Eastern states like Jharkhand, Odisha and West Bengal are facing a dangerous combination of heat and high humidity levels. Heat wave conditions are expected to persist in parts of Odisha and Jharkhand throughout the week.The IMD has also warned of hot night conditions in Odisha till May 26, which will increase the suffering and health risks of the people. Meteorologists said that due to increase in humidity levels, the heat is being felt more intensely, especially in the coastal and low-lying areas.

Peninsular India: Heat spreads in the south

The heat wave has increased in some parts of South India also. Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Yanam and Telangana are likely to witness heat wave conditions for several days in the coming week.In Vijayawada, civic authorities installed green shade nets at major intersections to provide respite to commuters and traffic personnel facing long exposure to sunlight during afternoon rush hours.

Himalayan states: unusual heat patterns

Even the Himalayan states, which usually remain cool during this time of the year, are seeing unusual heat patterns. The IMD has predicted isolated heatwave conditions over Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, underscoring the widespread nature of the current heat event.

Why is this heatwave more dangerous?

Climate experts have linked the increasing intensity and duration of heat waves in India to climate change. According to studies, the duration of heatwaves in the country has increased by about 0.44 days per decade.Experts also said rising night temperatures and rising humidity levels have made recent heat waves significantly more dangerous. Unlike earlier heat events, where temperatures would drop after sunset, night temperatures are now rising steadily in many areas, reducing the time it takes for the human body to recover.The combination of extreme daytime heat, hot nights and humidity is increasing the risk for vulnerable populations, including the elderly, infants, outdoor workers and people with pre-existing medical conditions. Authorities in several states have urged residents to avoid direct exposure to sunlight during peak hours, stay hydrated and follow health advisories issued by local administrations.

In a recent conversation, Ravi Kishan told that he does not know why he goes viral on social media. The actor recently attended the trailer launch event of his upcoming film ‘Maa Behen’ with co-star Madhuri Dixit and Trupti Dimri in Mumbai. During this time, he also talked about his viral video in which, while advocating, he had mistakenly said ‘home from work’ instead of ‘work from home’. PM Narendra Modi‘s WFH campaign.

Ravi Kishan reacts to ‘work from home’ meme trend

Now, according to a report in IANS, when Ravi Kishan was asked about the virality of his Freudian slip, he told the media, “I swear by Mahadev; I don’t know why I go viral. I said ‘work from home’, said ‘early the late’. I was going to Parliament; had to do ‘work from home’; ‘home from work’ came out (I want to say from the bottom of my heart, I I swear to Mahadev, I don’t know why I’m going viral, recently, I said, ‘home from work’, and then a few months ago, I said, ‘early late’. I was going to Parliament. I said, ‘Home from work’; It was considered ‘work from home’).”He further said, “People look at me as if I have come from a different space. I am a man and I make mistakes just like you. Why do you guys make me viral, I don’t know. Why do people look at me as if I am not human? People look at me as if I have come from some other place. I am a man; I make mistakes just like you.” And I will continue to do so. So why do you guys make me viral)?During the same conversation at the event, he further shared, “Everyone asks me, people in my party also ask, even my seniors ask me ‘Aap karte kya hai?’ I don’t know, but this film is also going to go viral (everyone asks me; I won’t take names, even people in my party ask everywhere. All my seniors also ask me, ‘What do you do to go viral?’ I honestly don’t know. But this film is going to go viral).”The actor concluded his words by saying, “And I am too and I just have to come and go viral.”

How did Ravi Kishan go viral?

A few days ago, Ravi Kishan had gone viral after he accidentally said “work from home” instead of “work from home” while interacting with the media while discussing fuel-saving measures and public transport awareness. The slip of the tongue quickly turned into a meme fest on social media, with users comparing it to his first viral phrase, “earlier than later.”The actor-politician was explaining Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeal for lower fuel consumption and remote working when he repeatedly used the phrase “work from home”.

New Delhi: In a significant breakthrough, representatives of the Center and Ladakh on Friday agreed to the creation of an elected body “with full legislative, executive and financial powers” at the UT level, besides having similar bodies in each of the seven districts.The two sides – who resumed talks after a gap of more than three months, also joined by environmentalist and activist Sonam Wangchuk, who was released in March after six months of detention under the NSA – reached an understanding on providing constitutional protection to Ladakh in matters like land, jobs and culture etc. under Article 371, which is applicable to states like Nagaland, Sikkim and Mizoram.A government official said, although this arrangement does not meet the central demands of Ladakh bodies like statehood, Sixth Schedule status and UT with legislature, it accommodates their essence and spirit. The proposed elected body at the UT level will have all UT bureaucrats, including the Chief Secretary, reporting to its executive head. Additionally, constitutional safeguards are being provided to Ladakh, though not under the Sixth Schedule but under Articles 371 A, F and G – relating to protecting territorial customs, indigenous cultures and land rights and ensuring equitable economic development.A press note issued by the Leh Apex Body and Kargil Democratic Alliance after talks with Home Ministry representatives here said the Home Ministry has clarified that Ladakh cannot be granted statehood “for the time being” as it “currently lacks adequate revenue generation to meet the revenue expenditure such as salaries of employees.” However, it added that “this setup will lead Ladakh towards full statehood once it meets the revenue criteria”.

The Ladakh civic bodies said the executive head of the UT-level elected body, who is “proposed to be made the Chief Minister”, will have control over all bureaucrats in the UT. Two autonomous councils in Ladakh will also give way to elected bodies “with full legislative powers” in all seven districts, a source said.Home Ministry to consult experts on Ladakh Union Territory body Government sources said there was a broad agreement on the creation of UT- and district-level bodies with full legislative powers, adding that their operational details, including structure, composition and legislative framework, would be decided by the MHA and Ladakh bodies in consultation with legal and constitutional experts. LAB and KDA have been agitating for a long time demanding statehood, Sixth Schedule status, constitutional protection and increased parliamentary representation for Ladakh.

New Delhi: Sunrisers Hyderabad had a memorable night after dismissing young fast bowler Saqib Hussain. Virat Kohli During SRH’s big IPL 2026 win over Royal Challengers Bangalore in Hyderabad. The 21-year-old Bihar player described Kohli’s wicket as a dream moment. He told the broadcasters after the game, “Maza toh aaya (It was a pleasure for me). Virat Kohli’s wicket was a dream wicket for me.”Shakib continued his impressive form by taking another wicket in his first IPL season, taking his tally of wickets to 15 in 10 matches. He has now managed to take at least one wicket in every game this season, becoming one of SRH’s biggest youth success stories.Sunrisers Hyderabad displayed another explosive batting display and scored a mammoth score of 255/4. Abhishek Sharma gave a great start to SRH by playing a quickfire inning of 56 runs in 22 balls and attacked Bhuvneshwar Kumar from the very beginning. Ishan Kishan added 79 runs in 44 balls with smart strokeplay, while Heinrich Klaasen scored 51 runs in just 24 balls and completely dominated Josh Hazlewood in one over.A late cameo from Nitish Reddy helped SRH cross the 250-run mark as the team hit a total of 20 fours and 16 sixes.RCB never looked capable of chasing such a big target. Virat Kohli could score only 15 runs, while Devdutt Padikkal also failed to make a big impact. Venkatesh Iyer provided some momentum early on, but chasing soon became unrealistic.Once RCB realized that victory was out of reach, Rajat Patidar and Krunal Pandya focused on reaching the crucial figure of 166 runs required to finish in the top two. Patidar scored 56 while Krunal remained unbeaten on 41 as RCB finished on 200/4 despite the 55-run defeat.Despite the loss, RCB remained on top of the league standings, while SRH finished third with the same number of points.
